A 225 km2 open world post-soviet state wiped out by an unknown infection. Go Solo, team up with friends or take on the world as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive.

This is the first community + development team generated update for the DayZ mod. Thank you so much for the communities help, without them not only would the mod be unknown but we wouldn't have the fixed that dam delayed zombie death animation.

This is the first community + development team generated update for the
DayZ mod. It is the culmination of a huge amount of work by both the
community and the development team. The half-done 1.7.3 patch was made
available to the community, who included many of their own fixes and
updates. While dogs are "in" there are some mechanics missing so they
cannot currently be used. Both myself and Matt spent a significant
amount of time playing this today, and it was a lot of fun.

Credits

A small summary of those involved in actual development of the patch are as follows (visit Github.com
for the latest list). Many others helped with testing and such. Please
get involved with the community development project! There is much
being done, new features and content. Official support is also being
made available to community development team members for some requests,
where possible.
